Subtilisin Carlsberg (E.C. 3.4.21.14) catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L-phenylalanine p-nitroanilide in solid-state solvent-free hydrated protein-substrate mixtures. This process needs a certain critical degree of hydration of the protein molecule which is attained at the relative water vapour pressure (p/ps) above

Traditionally, studies on the diffusion-controlled reaction of biological macromolecules have been carried out in dilute solutions (in vitro). However, in an intracellular environment (in vivo), there is a high concentration of macromolecules, which results in nonspecific interactions (macromolecular crowding). This
